WARNING! KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM THE IMMEDIATE NOZZLE AREA. IF LEAD PAINT IS BEING REMOVED FOLLOW THE
SAFETY WARNING AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS MANUAL. ALWAYS WEAR GLOVES AND EYE PROTEcTION.
4.2.
Paint and varnish removal.
The easy removal of paint and varnish requires practice. Follow these simple working techniques to achieve the required result.
NOTE: the heat gun is designed to remove both oil and latex based paints and varnishes from surfaces. It will not remove stains or
primer coats that have impregnated the surface of the wood.
4.2.1.
Switch the gun on and allow it to reach its operating temperature.
4.2.2.
Always test on a small unobtrusive area first. If satisfactory, proceed with the task in hand.
4.2.3.
Hold the gun nozzle 70 to 100mm from the paint to be removed.
4.2.4.
After a short time paint will soften and begin to blister.
4.2.5.
Do not overheat the paint as this will cause it to burn making it more difficult to remove. Wear eye protection, especially when
stripping paint from overhead. If lead paint is being removed, refer to the warning at the beginning of this manual.
4.2.6.
Begin scraping the paint off. Work from top to bottom. Use a scraper with smooth even strokes, warming the surface in front of the
scraper by moving the gun slightly from side to side.
4.2.7.
If the correct temperature has been applied to the paint, thick even layers can be removed in a single pass (paint should be removed in
strips equal in width to the scraper blade).
4.2.8.
Keep the scraper blade edge clean and sharp preventing paint peelings from building up.
4.2.9.
Scrape paint as soon as it becomes soft, as it will re-harden very quickly.
4.2.10.
After softening, shaped or profiled surfaces may be stripped by using a wire brush.
4.2.11.
To protect surrounding surfaces from the heat gun cover with non-flammable material.
